Here it is. Dug it up. Interview with Miu Hirano, from 2nd issue of Chinese magazine Table Tennis World in 2015.

Q：為什麼不留長頭髮梳辮子？

A：在日本高中生以下，尤其是乒乓球隊不允許染頭髮，塗指甲。我們隊還要求不能留長髮，帶卡子也必須是黑色的。

(Q: Why not grow a long hair and wear a ponytail?
A: Those of highschool students and below, especially those in the table tennis team, are not permitted to dye their hair, and wear nail polish. Our team even requires us not to grow a long hair, and hair clips must be in black color.)

Soo's English is fluent.

LGL surely knows his TT.

LGL did not watch men's QF live. Someone told him that ML got some hard time. LGL immediately asked: was ML playing with Gardos? Only he on Austria team can make ML uncomfortable. It cannot be anyone else. If ML won 4th game, he should be more powerful in the deciding game.

Oh my god can China really lose this one? :OOO

 

[allencorn]

Harimoto loses. Why is Niwa not playing for Japan?

Ah, so that's a team rule. I've read the national team guidance couple years ago. Mizutani dyed his hair blonde and was told off immediately because of that.

Li Sun told ZYL in the TO to not be that scared and to believe in herself.

Ahahaha, what a match...

Harimoto performed below his usual level. Jeoung was a tough opponent and Harimoto couldn’t handle the pressure.

Lee is really playing very very well. It’s going to be very difficult for Japan but I still believe in them

 

[zeio]

LSW went from 8:2 to 10:9, 11:9. What happened to China?

 

[Musa]

Someone please guide me on how I can bypass the ittv and watch it live off the restrictions

Pressure, a lot of pressure. Especially after DN lost, they may feel a bit shaky.

Mizutani never took a TO right all these years.

Kong LIng Hui - this is what happened.
Actually few years ago when LSW was the best player on planet he was always choosing DN or LXX. Even if LSW had the best ratio against foreingers. Now after years china coaches choosing new players like ZYL or CM but still when they let LSW play she can beat them all.
I cannot understand how DN in her current shape can be China no 1 player in that important competition.

The 4th set with LSS mizutani copy the game with XX when he lost from 10:4 next 8 points. He started very agressive and then somehow he changed his mind and started playing blocking game I can never tell why???

In that case, the new ITTF World Ranking system was actually not that far off?
